Professor Elemental, the chap-hop steampunk alter-ego of Paul Alborough

Elemental is a spiral embossed, smooth, etched handmade lampwork glass focal bead with lots of reactions happening between the colours. Ivory and black have been super-heated to create a "bleeding" effect - add the stripes of fine silver-coated ivory glass to the mix and you get a gorgeous organic effect.
On top of all that, this bead was embossed on both sides with an indent spiral and finally etched to give it a beautiful finish, with a surface that feels a little like a Mint Imperial sweet!
There's a lot of handmade going on in this bead as the tool I used to emboss the spiral was made by my own fair hands. Sometimes I like the precision of a machined bead press but this time I wanted something a little less even - and it worked perfectly!

Professor Elemental, the creation of Paul Alborough, and performer of "chap-hop".
23 August, Abney Park played at Scala, King's Cross, supported by Professor Elemental and Sunday Driver.
In the hall of howling wind, we fight three air elementals. Not a big deal as these things go, but what with the dragon and the giant ghoul it's already been a pretty long day for our heroes.
